Dog days of autumn

Jessica Hamilton plays with Handsome, a pit bull-mastiff mix, by the duck pond at the Arnold E. Holm Memorial Park in Waterford on Thursday. Hamilton volunteers at the nearby Waterford/East Lyme Animal Shelter and Handsome and his brother are among the dogs there up for adoption. "I walk them, play with them, socialize them, anything to help them get adopted," Hamilton said.
